The Man Behind The Legend

Rodney Bingenheimer, better known as the mayor of the Sunset Strip, is a well-known disc jockey in Los Angeles. He has forever had an ear for new and outstanding music, even now in his sixth decade.

Rodney found stars like Blondie and The Ramones. And if you have heard of groups like No Doubt, Oasis or Radiohead, you should be thanking Rodney. Obviously Rodney has always had a love of music and a desire for fame.

His mother could be the reason for his wanting to be famous; she left him at Connie Francis’ home one day and just drove off. Ironically, Connie was not home and Rodney had nowhere to go or anyone to call. From that time on Rodney was, for the most part, on his own.

He went to Hollywood and made some fast cash by appearing in his new friends’ (like the Beach Boys, the Mamas and Papas, and The Doors) videos. But his highlight at that time was when he landed a role as Davy Jones’ twin in the most popular show, The Monkees.

He then gradually gained more access to a group that few have accessed. Folks like Sonny and Cher made him their confidant and watched out for Rodney. About this time he befriended an unknown artist called David Bowie. His next adventure was opening a nightclub that played glam rock music, but this lasted only a short bit because soon, disco hit the airwaves, forcing him to close the doors.

Then in the early eighties KROQ signed Rodney on as a new DJ. Rodney had every classic vinyl record he had ever owned, so this was his ideal job. Rodney is still on KROQ, but just for a couple of hours every Sunday late at night.

When you ask Rodney about his favorite thing, one is a signed Elvis Presley vinyl record along with the King’s driver’s license. Which is not surprising considering Rodney lives in a small condo that is littered with not only Elvis Presley vinyl, but classic vinyl from the sixties and beyond.

Unfortunately, Rodney has never received any money from helping a band in breaking into the scene. He doesn’t seem bitter, saying he only did it for the love of music, but seeing him alone surrounded by his classic vinyl collection, makes you think.

Rodney still grins as he introduces groups like Duran Duran or X and sits up front jamming along. A few years ago, Rodney finally received his star on the walk of fame in front of the Knitting Factory. When presented with the star he chuckled and said that now he can really get walked on. Possibly karma will one day stop and aid Rodney.
